The sad reality of life in 2021 - COVID - "we are so over that - it is boring". Climate change - "

4. Sad but true, NHL

I remember a discussion I had with my 6 year-old grand whose 1st grade teacher was sending notes home about her not paying attention and being disruptive. I tried to discuss the excitement of learning, but she said "I just want to have fun." Most of us outgrow that (she did) but some never do. We are seeing it with people out in huge crowds at ball games, concerts, etc. during a highly contagious pandemic. Freedumb!

Even here on DU, there are many threads complaining that President Biden hasn't fixed this or that, not seeming to realize the vast number of complex problems he is dealing with, and with hold-overs from trump gumming up the works.

Climate change is huge; it will take patience, expertise from the scientific community, and an enormous effort to blunt the lobbyists and republicans in Congress. We need to all be committed to the challenge. How we change the attitudes of our selfish fellow citizens is beyond me.

Disgusted is right.
